• [Prison Art] Prisoner Carved
  [Prison Art] Prisoner Carved Piece Taken from Kansas State Prison Coal Mine  A piece of coal carved into the shape of a small book 4'' x 3'' x 0.75'' incised John Dodd on the spine This was taken from the Kansas State Prison Coal Mine depth of shaft 720 feet on the cover and with a floral design on the back cover. The mine at the Kansas State Penitentiary in Lansing just south of Leavenworth was opened in 1881 owing to ''the need to keep inmates occupied.'' The prisoners produced up to 10 000 bushels of coal per day and that output contributed to the growth of the Leavenworth area by requiring another railroad to transport the coal. The Kansas Department of Corrections website states that the prisoners of the era were governed by the ''Silent System '' forbidding verbal communication among them and therefore passed the time crafting all types of unusual objects from the materials they had available many of which were sold to visitors to benefit the prison fund.
